Served in a Free State larger snifter/globe glass at the brewpub. Color is dark brown and clear. Very stick lacing and thick strong head. In short the beer is high on hops and earthy brown malts. Basically, that is it. It is, however, not sweet and clean and that is good thing. Its hoppy big brown ale. Has a dry bitter green-hop finish. Not my bag and kind of disappointing for an anniversary brew.
